You tried to light your fireplace.....with gasoline? Person got 'burned' (singed eyebrows) when it flashed over. Actually happened. Best comment was.....and I quote.....,"It never did that before!"

You brought no food, water, or supplies, and you are complaining about the stuff I am sharing with you? Really?

You work in an office and don't carry a pen. Yup !! I train people time to time, and one of the most annoying things is when some of them ask for MY pen to write notes. Really ? Yes !!

Well, I've seen a number of dumb-ass stunts. Ill-considered ploys. Plans that succeeded only by divine intervention and/or dumb luck, without the intervention of an ounce of earthly brain power.
And so have we all.
Full disclosure: one or two may possibly have been my own.
So I'm a little cautious when it comes to throwing stones.

Big tent, remember? Welcoming people into the big tent for the common good?

I do not find that too annoying. It offers a great opportunity for a lesson in resource managment (you can use all the resources you brought to write your notes). I am a proud owner of a fountain pen using actual ink. In times of elevated sensitivity people may also learn that it is not a good idea to ask me for MY pen. Really? You want to do WHAT? (the actual joke may not be appropriate while children are watching)

This happened today. I was seeing a doctor today and a snake came in the waiting room. It may have mistaken the doctor's office with a veterinary office. Anyhow a patient said it slithered under the cabinet so I use my EDC D Cell MAG-LITE to find it. I could not find the snake.
By the time I was checking out, the rain was coming down hard. A staff member says "I hope you brought your umbrella." I didn't. She continues. "You carry a large flashlight but not an umbrella?"
I live in Florida and it's the raining season.

My job involves spending a lot of time at whiteboards. I will ask new people where their whiteboard markers are, and I get some confused looks. "I don't have my own."
My response, "Yes you do. They're at the store, go get them." So true. its like being in an office without a pen. Really?
